Ingredients:

  • 1 large Eggplant (approx. 450g), cubed into 1-inch pieces
  • 2 medium Zucchini (approx. 300g), sliced into half-moons
  • 1 large Red Bell Pepper, de-seeded and chopped
  • 1 cup (200g) Sweet Potato, peeled and diced small
  • 2 tbsp (30ml) Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 1 tsp (5g) Smoked Paprika
  • 1/2 tsp (2.5g) Sea Salt
  • 2 cups (370g) Cooked Quinoa or Farro
  • 1 can (400g) Chickpeas, drained and patted dry
  • 3 tbsp (45g) Creamy Tahini
  • 1/2 Lemon, juiced
  • 1 tbsp (15ml) Warm water
  • 1 clove Garlic, grated

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Note: This high temperature is the only way to get the charred edges we want in under 30 minutes.
  2. Cube 1 large eggplant into 1 inch pieces and slice 2 medium zucchini into half moons.
  3. Chop 1 large red bell pepper and dice 200g of peeled sweet potato into small, uniform cubes.
  4. Toss all the vegetables in a large bowl with 30ml extra virgin olive oil, 5g smoked paprika, and 2.5g sea salt. Note: Mixing in a bowl ensures every nook and cranny of the eggplant is coated.
  5. Spread the mixture onto a parchment lined sheet pan. Ensure no pieces are overlapping to allow for airflow.
  6. Roast for 25 minutes until the sweet potato is tender and the eggplant edges are mahogany colored.
  7. Whisk 45g tahini, the juice of 1/2 a lemon, 1 grated garlic clove, and 15ml warm water. Note: Add the water slowly; the tahini will seize at first, then suddenly turn velvety.
  8. Portion 370g of cooked quinoa or farro into four bowls and top with 400g of drained chickpeas.
  9. Pile the roasted vegetables over the grains and finish with the tahini drizzle.
